Emotions and feelings are very strong and yet fragile. Poetry is a
way to express and convey these feelings. This book is part of a
summary of my inner thoughts and deepest emotions. This collection
of short poems is written with simplicity and elegance. I consider
Poetic Passion to be a private treasure that has become a public
pleasure. When writing poetry one can express feelings of love,
wonderment, betrayal, passion, humor, disappointment and joy.
Expressions are limitless as well as timeless and are the totality
of who a person is. I have poured my heart, soul and passion into
these writings. There are many people in my life who inspired me
and still inspire me to write the words that led to the poems in
this book. This book is the result of all the great joys as well as
pain that opened up my heart and mind and enabled me to write.
